Back in Kansas City The Chiefs signed Powell to the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact The 2021 fifth-round pick spent all of last season on the Chiefs' practice squad, but he was waived in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Cornell Powell Among 12 Chiefs Signed to Future Contracts Kansas City continues to retain some of its players on the offseason 90-man roster.

FEBRUARY 16, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Gets new deal with Chiefs Kansas City signed Powell (undisclosed) to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Powell landed on the practice squad injured list in early January and subsequently sat out the Chiefs' postseason run. The nature of Powell's injury wasn't ultimately disclosed, but this offseason he will get a chance to compete for a role on the 53-man roster for 2023.

FEBRUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured list The Chiefs placed Powell (undisclosed) on the practice-squad injured list Monday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact It's unclear exactly what injury Powell is dealing with, but he'll now be ineligible to play for at least the Chiefs' next four games. As a result, his earliest possible chance to return would come if the team makes it to the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 12. However, it the Chiefs secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a subsequent first-round bye in the playoffs, then Powell will not be able to return before the end of the season. The second-year wideout has not recorded a target over three appearances this season.

Returns to practice squad Powell reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Powell was elevated to serve as the team's fifth receiver against the Bengals, as Kadarius Toney remained out with a hamstring injury. The former played five snaps on special teams, but he failed to tally any stats. If Toney remains out Week 14 against the Broncos, Powell may find himself with another opportunity on the active roster.

DECEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Week 13 Powell was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Powell will join the active roster as the fifth wide receiver with Kadarius Toney (hamstring) out for another week. Powell will contribute primarily on special teams, as he has played only three offensive snaps across two games on the campaign.

DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to practice squad Powell reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Powell was activated for the second game in a row with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) both sidelined Week 12. However, the practice-squad wideout still served an extremely limited role in the Chiefs' banged-up receiving corps, playing just two of his 10 snaps on offense against the Rams. Powell has yet to record a catch in his NFL career, and he'll be eligible for one more elevation from Kansas City's practice squad this year.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Week 12 The Chiefs elevated Powell from the practice squad Saturday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact If Powell is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, he'll add depth to a receiver group that will be without Mecole Hardman (abdomen) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) for the Week 12 contest. Even so, Powell will still be fifth in the pecking order at wideout, and he's more likely to see snaps on special teams than on offense.

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts back to practice squad Powell reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Powell made his NFL debut as he was activated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's win over the Chargers. The second-year wideout figured to provide depth for Kansas City with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) on IR and JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) ruled inactive. However, Powell did not log a target and ultimately played just one of his 16 snaps on offense Week 11. The 25-year-old will now be eligible for two more elevations while on the Chiefs practice squad this season.

NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will be active Sunday The Chiefs elevated Powell from their practice squad Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Powell was drafted by the Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2021 Draft, but he'll have a chance to make his NFL debut in Week 11 of the 2022 campaign. Kansas City recently placed Mecole Hardman (abdomen) on IR and already ruled out JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) for Week 11, so Powell and fellow practice-squad wideout Marcus Kemp figure to provide depth behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore.
